* NarratorAllAlong: As revealed in the last US mission, the narrator is Parker. Likewise, it's implied that the second narrator of the USSR missions is Romanov.



* SpiritualLicensee: The plot of the game comes close enough to ''Film/RedDawn1984''.

Zero Context Example, written in a way that suggests it's a shoehorn.


* SignatureScene: Either commanding the guns of the USS ''Missouri'' near the end of the Battle of Pine Valley, or [[spoiler: the dropping of a tactical nuke on Cascade Falls]].

Bad indentation, does not follow alphabetical order, Ukraine War shoehorn.


* HilariousInHindsight:
** In some cases, the story of Soviet's [[spoiler: failed]] invasion of Washington State became this for the 2022 Ukraine Invasion as the Russians launched an invasion with the expectation of a swift victory before becoming bogged down and pushed back by the local defense force after months of fighting.

** The entire cutscene of Soviet Invasion became uncomfortable in 2022 with early days seeing Russian tanks rolling down the street and paratroopers dropping into the cities.

* HarsherInHindsight: In one mission we see Sawyer lead an expedition deep inside Russia territory to recover intelligence from a prototype B-2 Spirit that had crashed inside enemy lines. The game takes place in 1989 when the B-2 Spirit first took to the skies; a year after the game's release in 2008, the ''Spirit of Kansas'' became the first B-2 Spirit to be lost after a failed takeoff in Guam. Thankfully in both instances, the pilots survived their ordeal.

* MoralEventHorizon: One for either side, though not as dramatic as one might think. An infuriated Malashenko[[spoiler: shoots and kills his uncle, Colonel Orlovsky in a fit of rage upon hearing of his intent to withdraw.]] Likewise, though not played as straight, with Bannon [[spoiler: firing upon (what he thinks is) surrendering Soviet soldiers and civil defense personnel, slaughtering them. Once he realizes who they're ''really'' firing upon, he immediately orders his men to stop shooting, and clearly regards what happened with horror and regret]].

Not unintentionally funny and YMMV tropes cannot be averted


* {{Narm}}: Averted by a mild case of FridgeBrilliance.
** Sawyer: "They should carve your name on the base for what you've done!" He's referring to the Statue of Liberty, not their military base.
